Again, I thank Dr. Roy Baker and family for their personal contribution of family pictures to our collection. For those that do not know the story, Dr. Roy Baker and I met in Alaska by accident several years ago when he and his family were visiting the Anchor Point and Homer area. He and I are cousins, his aunt, Ella Belle Baker is my Grandmother, married to Henry Philo Harrington on February 8, 1911. He and I are similar in age, he vividly recalls when my father visited the Baker family following his first trip to Alaska. This picture was taken during this visit on September 17, 1954.

I now know where my father and I got our carpentry skills!
I looked at this picture several times trying to figure out which children are also seen in the picture. It was not until this evening, that I noticed something for the first time. Grabbing my magnifying glass, I studied the picture in closer detail. Still not being able to determine what I was seeing nor believing what I was seeing, I put it on the scanner and enlarged the section that you see below.
However, at first glance do you see a resemblance between sister Dorothy Harrington Miller
and Grandmother Baker.I looked at this picture several times trying to figure out which children are also seen in the picture.

That is "Ten" Harrington's, Parker Brothers 10 Gauge Double Barrel Shotgun sitting within reach of him. Just in case it was needed, it appears that the second shotgun is either a Winchester or Remington pump shotgun. The story of the Parker Brothers shotgun is in the posting preceding this post. With this same shotgun in my possession, this picture is as priceless to me as is the gun.

Looking at characteristics is so much fun. Click on these pictures and enlarge them. What I noticed were the hands of "Ten" Harrington. His hands are very large, then look at the hands of his son (Dad) where he is leaning up against his pick-up. Same hands. Come Memorial Day weekend, look at Ranger Bill's hands, same hands. When you look at the enlargement of Ella Baker Harrington, you will see sister Dorothy several years ago. However, in the last eight to ten years, she looked to be the identical twin to our mother.
